What is this thing?

[DigIron2]

I can almost swear I have seen it somewhere before or something like it.It is copper,hollow almost half way through on one end and the middle is kind of squared off all the way around, maybe used to rotate something else kind of like a gear?It's got me.

Guts of a hose nozzle?

That's a good guess.It does look like a old mini hose nossle,I don't know what the inside of them looks like?

Spool pin or spindle from a sewing machine. Crank handle for a victrola or telephone. Could be a bunch of different things...

Toy cannon.

I remember my grandparents having a toy cannon looking like that back in the day. Any other finds with it? Or solo?

I found some early colonial stuff in the area, but there is a house that dates back to around the forties or fifty's near by.As far as the hole it came out of there was nothing else there or around it.So you think it could possibly be a toy cannon missing the rest of it';s parts?
